A Norwegian "found footage" film.
I just have to say this was brilliant.
A trio of university students follow a secret goverment Troll Hunter as he tracks down rogue trolls. As i said the film is in a documentary style footage on the run film,but it works so well. The troll effects also fit nicely with the style of film. A must see. 9/10

"Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I ?" Black Sheep- Gin Wigmore

A cynical preacher in the US deep South carries out one last exorcism to expose it at as a fraud. Only it isn't. Well acted and shot (in a documentary style) but somehow lacking something. Not bad though.

Hidden (2005)

A French couple are stalked by someone unknown, revealing old secrets. Well filmed and slow at times but compelling. In French with subtitles.

Get Shorty (1995)

John Travolta is a racketeer heading to LA and getting involved in the film industry. Great fun with Travolta in one of his "coolest" roles.

Super 8 (2011)

Soem teenagers making a movie accidentally film a train crash and its aftermath.
Pretty good actually and well acted by the teenage leads. Perhaps a little bit overly sentimental at the end.

Jet Lag
A French comedy/drama Jean Reno as a stressed chef/businessman stuck at the Paris airport during a controllers strike with Juliette Binoche as a beautician trying to get away from a bad relationship. I really enjoyd it.

The Three Stooges
The old comedy team has been recast by the Farley brothers production team. You'd be hard pressed to tell the new actors playing Larry, Moe and Curley from their predessors which made shorts from the 30s to the 50s. The Stooges have to raise money to save the orphanage they were brought up in. It's fun to see the Stooges in modern settings and it's a fun film for the entire family...just when you thought comedies had to be gross and tasteless.

The Descendants
George Clooney looking glum in Hawaii. Not as good as I was expecting given the awards it won. Directed by the guy that brought us the equally overrated Sideways. The Rotten Tomatoes film review site gives it 4.5 stars...sorry, I see it as 3.5 at most.

There are two sides to every story. The truth is usually somewhere between the two.
